Heartbroken

I know your pain is done,But mine has just begun. My feelings are raw,With the things that I saw. Why did you have to go,Only god will ever know, The pain is fresh and deep,However  forever will I sleep. Back and forth I blame myself,I can see your picture on my shelf. I cry when I  go to sleep at night,Your love will shine forever bright. As I stare in to the  star filled dark,I think of how you made your  mark. Loyal and true,all the way through. Always your friend, till the very, very end. They tell me I will be OK,That's not how I feel today. I want you back, I will make a dealI will sign it in blood with a seal. Just come back to me, you will  see.Even tough God was the one that set you free, This just can't be the answer for you and me.This dyeing business sucks, don't you agree, I wish the world could stop for me and you,with only our  memories to see me through. My big beautiful baby, it just can't be true,Just thinking of you can turn me blue. I will never again save you from that tree.or clean your coat and scratch that flea. Oh God can you hear my plea,can you ever give him back to me. And to my surprise God spoke to my heart.He will he will be waiting in heaven, he get's fresh start.                      Written by  Julie Tabor 9/9/08In loving memory of Stranger the best Damn cat ever.          Unknown---12/20/2003----9/1/2008

You are angry

you are angry at the fate of your dear puss, I can relate to that as I too lost a cat that was as a child to me, I have no children and never will have. It was 6 months before I didn't feel he was there to trip over, to wake us up in the morning, to do the gardening with me, to play with, and now although it was over 40 years ago I can feel the sadness at his passing. He was a Siamese, Pingtoo, used to hang round my neck while I washed up looking now and again intently out of the window at the foraging birds went past, the wren would go methodically along the rockery the whole length of the window and that was exciting for us both.

Very deep

I love first off how you tricked me as to who it was about. And your obvious love for stranger shined through in this. It was truly interesting in an odd love story kind of way.
